Release Detail

September 10, 2003 - List All World Trade Center Victims Together,
New Yorkers Tell Quinnipiac University Poll;
Most New Yorkers Love Their City

All those who died at the World Trade Center September 11 should be listed together, 54
percent of New York City voters say, while 38 percent say there should be a separate list
for the rescuers who died when they went in after the attack, according to a Quinnipiac
University poll released today.

New York City voters approve 50 - 33 percent of the current plans to develop the

World Trade Center site. Mayor Michael Bloomberg should have the major role in
decisions about the World Trade Center development, 54 percent of New York City
voters say, while 25 percent say Gov. George Pataki should have the major role.

"The rescue workers, those who went into the World Trade Center after the planes
hit, were heroes. But in the official memorial, New Yorkers don't want to differentiate
among the dead," said Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University Polling
Institute.

"We're satisfied - but not overwhelmingly so - with the rebuilding of the World
Trade Center. Still, New Yorkers think Mayor Bloomberg, not Gov. Pataki, should be
calling the shots," Carroll said.

Most New Yorkers - 58 percent of them - love New York, while 23 percent
"like" New York. Another 2 percent "dislike" New York and 1 percent "hate" the city.
Those who love New York include 63 percent of white voters, 55 percent of black voters
and 61 percent of Hispanic voters.

New York is an "excellent" place to live, 29 percent of city voters say, and 48
percent say it's a "good" place to live. It's "not so good," 16 percent say, and 6 percent
say "poor." A total of 85 percent of white voters say "excellent" or "good," compared
to 71 percent of black voters and 71 percent of Hispanic voters.

"Sure, we complain a lot, but New Yorkers still think their city is a great place to
live," Carroll said.

"In fact we like it, we love it, we can't get enough of it."

"And that one percent who hate New York? We have a four-letter suggestion -
move."

From September 3 - 8, Quinnipiac University surveyed 815 New York City
registered voters, with a margin of error of +/- 3.4 percent.

The Quinnipiac University Poll, directed by Douglas Schwartz, Ph.D., conducts
public opinion surveys in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and
nationwide as a public service and for research.
